Gelsey, Nash, Scott, Sperry enthusiastic to help Florida State rebuild

While Florida State, like most programs, continues to lean on the transfer portal to address roster needs, the 2025 cycle also features a number of pieces from the prep and JuCo level to aid in its efforts to establish a sustainable model.

**Complete summary from Tuesday’s interviews**

Florida State head coach Mike Norvell revealed on signing day that adding length was a top priority and that was no more apparent than in the signings of 6’7″ WR Jordan Scott who seasoned at Southwest Mississippi Community College and 6’4″ TE Tae’shaun Gelsey.

QB Kevin Sperry discussed his admiration from Baker Mayfield and how he tries to emulate his competitive spirit and how quickly he’s connected with offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn.

Florida State will open the 2025 season in a newly renovated Doak Campbell Stadium when they host Alabama on August 30.

FSU finished in last place in the ACC and below .500 for the fifth time in seven years and third time under Mike Norvell.

Alabama failed to win 10 games for the first time since 2007, its first season under former head coach Nick Saban. The Crimson Tide lead the all-time series 3-1 including the most recent clash, a 24-7 win in 2017

The window to enter the transfer portal closed on Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024 and Florida State’s portal class is currently 24th in the nation with 16 additions and 21 losses. The spring transfer period begins on April 16 and closes April 25th.

Florida State’s high school recruiting class for 2025 currently sits inside the On3 Top 20 team rankings and features DL Kevin Wynn who earned accolades at the US Navy All-Star Game.
